Chapter 173 Coercion
After Lang Wentian brought Xu Zhenfeng back to the meeting hall, he told him in detail about the situation on Lang Xiangtian's side.
Actually, Lang Xiangtian is Lang Wentian's cousin within three generations. According to the Wolf clan, he is Xu Zhenfeng's uncle.
With the cultivation level of the eighth level of the Earth Rank, he is several dozen years younger than Lang Wentian.
The two wolf demons almost grew up and practiced together in the Wolf Clan's Tongxiu Hall, and they have a deep affection for each other.
Now they have all become great demons.
One of them partners with the lion tribe to guard the Jianfengling Pass.
One of them partners with the elephant tribe to guard Qinyue Pass.
The country defending Qinyue Pass is a human country called Qinyue.
This human empire worships Taoism, and there are several Taoist human saints in the country.
The good thing is that the Qinyue Kingdom is not as aggressive as the Daiyue Kingdom defended by Jianfengling.
Qinyue Pass is also the only one among the ten border passes of Demon Mountain where no demon general has ever been lured and killed by humans.
Lang Xiangtian’s partner is Xiang Gao, a great demon from the elephant clan, who has reached the ninth level of earth rank.
These two great monsters guard Qinyue Pass and have a relatively harmonious relationship with the Qinyue Kingdom. The two sides often trade some specialties of the Monster Mountain in private.
When Xu Zhenfeng heard the word "specialty", he immediately thought of something. He looked at Lang Wentian and whispered, "Low-class monster?"
Lang Wentian looked a little embarrassed. He coughed and lowered his voice, "Not entirely."
Xu Zhenfeng was silent.
Then Lang Wentian said: "The ones taken out for exchange are the most useless monsters.
These monsters have a longer lifespan and greater strength and endurance than ordinary humans, but are no different from ordinary humans in other aspects.
Monsters like these are useless in my Monster Mountain. If they stay, they will only consume the resources of the Monster Mountain."
Xu Zhenfeng sighed in his heart but did not show it on his face.
He knew that the living environment in the Demon Mountain was becoming increasingly harsh.
The fate of ordinary monsters is not in their own hands, and most of them are used to exchange resources with humans.
That means becoming a slave demon and working in the mines until death.
The demon race must be able to go out and have more survival resources and territory.
Otherwise, in this small demon mountain, the situation faced by the lower-level demon tribes and ordinary demon people will only get worse and worse.
In the end, even the superior demon race could not escape the same fate.
Lang Wentian continued, "Your Uncle Xiangtian and I have always had a deep relationship. When you go to Qinyue Pass, you don't have to be too polite to him, otherwise it will seem alienated."
Xu Zhenfeng nodded and said, "I understand, uncle."
Lang Wentian paused for a moment, as if he was considering his words. After a long while, he said, "Zhenfeng, you still can't remember where you were born? Where are your parents? Do you have a name? What is it? You still can't remember these?"
Xu Zhenfeng was startled when he heard this, wondering why Lang Wentian suddenly asked this question.
“Uncle, I was outside Sifang City when I woke up, and I only have some scattered fragments of my memories from before.
I have tried hard to recall this period of time, but I just can’t remember what happened in the past.”
Lang Wentian nodded with a somewhat tangled look in his eyes, and explained to Xu Zhenfeng: "You are a wolf, there is no doubt about that, and I am asking you this not because I don't trust you.
It’s because not only do you have such a heaven-defying talent for cultivation, but your wisdom and thinking are also far beyond that of other people of the same race.
We estimate that your parents are not ordinary monster wolves.
I’m afraid that after you become a great demon in the future, if your parents still stay in the human area, the humans will know your background.
I will definitely try every possible means to find your parents, in case the human race uses your parents or other relatives to coerce you... "
When Xu Zhenfeng heard this, he shook his head and said, "In my wolf tribe, there are no monsters that can be coerced by humans."
